Control can also be exercised using methods other than budgets. Through
the use of financial ratios, for example, managers realize the strengths and
weaknesses of company operations. Financial ratios are financial measures
of performance called from accounting records, as summarized by financial
statements.
Through profit ratio, managers are able to determine how efficient they are
in converting resources to profits
While Activity Ratios reflect the efficiency with which managers create value from the use of
assets.
Setting target for and measuring performance in organizational functions, other than finance is
also being done nowadays. Specifically, the Balanced Scorecard looks at other areas that
contribute to company areas. Aside from the financial aspect, it looks into how customer,
internal processes and people contribute to company performance. Depending on the areas that
drive organizational success, managers tend to focus on certain areas. Those which are market-
driven, for example, have scorecards that is dominated by customer satisfaction. As much as
possible, however, the scorecard is designed to establish the synergy among the different areas
of organizational performance being measured.
